Second year graduate student, Orla Putnam, was accepted as a 2021 Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND Fellow). The LEND Program provides interdisciplinary training across undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels and across a variety of disciplines. The training prepares fellows to assume leadership roles in the fields and is funded through HRSA’s Maternal Child Health Bureau.   

The Harrop Lab welcomes undergraduate research assistant, Taylor Niblack, to the lab. Taylor is double majoring in Human Development and Family Studies and Psychology, as well as completing a minor in Speech and Hearing Sciences. Welcome Taylor!  

Dr. Harrop was recently awarded $10,000 from UNC’s School of Medicine to offset some of the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic on the lab’s work. The funds will be used to finish studies halted by COVID and fund student and staff support time.
